[ome-devel] Release of OMERO 5.2.0

[Mark Carroll]

Dear Christophe,

I assume you mean CentOS 6? OMERO 5.2 does support that; you can get a
newer PostgreSQL for it from their yum repository at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/ -- the main issue would
be that Django 1.6 no longer receives security support and Django 1.8
needs Python 2.7 so if you want to stick with CentOS 6 /and/ safely
offer a web client, you'd probably have other sysadmin work to do.
Upgrading to CentOS 7 would make good choice of other prerequisites
easier to provide, and will probably also work fine with OMERO 5.3 someday.

Those who have been deeper into CentOS 6 / OMERO 5.2 / Django for our
internal testing may follow up with more detail and correct any
impressions I give above. Good luck,

Cheers,

Mark
